Baloney! You've confused "modified food starch"
with "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" or something
like that. Hydrolyzed protein is protein that has
been broken down into amino acids, and one of those
amino acids is glutamic acid, which becomes glutamate
when alkaline. Hydrolyzed protein is used as an
MSG substitute, either for cost reasons or to avoid
indicating MSG on the label.
Starch can be hydrolyzed, but that converts it into
sugars, not amino acids.
Modified starch is not completely hydrolyzed to
sugars. It is modified to control its chain length,
to adjust its thickening properties.
